With Ron Twilegar as our Prosecuting attorney what could go wrong?

From my readings, that is why McCall ran into trouble with construction of their sewer ponds. Now that lawyer is an elected official here in Boise.

It is time people figure out an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of expensive cure.

The sad thing about this whole thing is with the present economy Alimar would have never been built any way.

But what do I care… The Warm Springs swimming pool is being rebuilt and we now have a Verizon Hot spot in down town Idaho City ( Donna’s Place) where you can get your Verizon cell phone service. Only problem is it is only good for about 25 feet.

Both of those things should be worth 5 million dollars right? Life is wonderful up in the hills of Idaho City

EDITOR NOTE–There is always debate on whether both conditions need to be met, whether they are “conjunctive,” etc. In this case I would argue it is NECESSARY to comply with the federal court order. Legal obligations including wages, public safety, contractual agreements, and court proceedings (trial by jury and speedy trial) are certainly ORDINARY. Generally speaking the term “unforeseen expense of an emergency nature” qualifies as ORDINARY and NECESSARY to get a judge to confirm the expense is an exception to the constitutional mandate to seek voter approval. In short, it can’t wait for voter approval.

The other irony here is the Boise County Commission basically ended up listening to the growthophobes and NIMBY world view when denying the Alamar Ranch proposal. One would think such a decision would prove popular on this blog site.

EDITOR NOTE–We have been very consistent in upholding the Idaho Constitution, despite the best efforts of Boise to get around that document. At statehood the delegates to the constitutional convention cited the ORDINARY and NECESSARY need to pay jurors and unforeseen expenses of following the law when a major trial or other legal requirement comes up that cannot be budgeted. The highest court in the land upheld my arguments regarding Article VIII, sec 3.

Only after the city spent $60,000 of public money and the hospital association dropped nearly $.75 million with deceitful advertising were you able to pass a constitutional amendment. There is no irony, merely honesty. With regard to NIMBY, you should be critical of the poor legal advice and lack of judgement of your fellow politicos to the north. As we have mentioned previously, they should have followed the example of Boise City in allowing Dennis Mansfield to install halfway houses all over the city. No one wanted convicts in their neighborhood, but their “disabilities” came under the ADA classification and there was no legal way to prohibit them.
